Luv-a-Duck Frozen Duck (2.1kg) $14 (Was $25) @ Coles

900

This deal is back. Title shamelessly taken from scrimshaw's post. Thanks.

Just $6.67/kg. That's cheaper than a pork roast. Product of Australia.

Roast Duck in 3 easy steps - If frozen, leave in bag and defrost fully in the refrigerator
1. PREPARE: Preheat over to 190°C. Drain any liquid from the cavity, dry the skin with paper towel and season with salt. Never stuff the cavity of a whole duck only use this space for inserting herbs. This allows the duck to ventilate whilst cooking.
2. ROAST: Place duck on a wire rack in a roasting dish and roast until golden and juices run clear. Approximate roasting time is 40 mins per kg at 190°C.
3. REST: Allow duck to rest in a warm place for 20 mins before portioning.

  • Anyone know if this is halal?

  • Can this be airfried?

    • +24

      Yes it can be cooked in an oven with a fan.

      • -7

        Not the same though

        • +1

          Isn’t it?

    • You can, if you have a big airfryer, or chopping into pieces before cooking

  • +2

    Used to be half price but this isn’t too bad

  • Rotisserie duck? Don’t know much about cooking duck but I don’t like the fat smell it has.

    • +1

      I love cooking duck on my spit - but you do need to put a foil tray underneath with sand to avoid flare ups!

  • That's cheaper than a pork roast.

    No. You must be comparing boneless fillet to whole animal.

    • +2

      Yeah no way is it cheaper than a pork roast if you compare the actual meat content. But not bad for a duck.

      • No crackle on ducks either

        • +2

          Crispy duck skin might be the most delicious thing on the planet.

          • @GhostofB: pay that - slightly above pork crackling

            I tried one of these duck deals before, crisped up nicely in t'oven

            I may just get another

    • I can't afford a whole pig. But yes of course they're not like for like cuts. But it's also hard to get anything to roast that's cheaper than a pork roast that isn't a whole chicken.

      • Pork roast is crazy cheap, but you can still get blade roast or silverside (corned or not) for a modest price, for a slow roast.

        • +1

          I don't go past pork belly for the crackling - as lumps of pork tend to be dry as, but if I was gonna do a big pork roast I'd probably try to emulate the porchetta effect of stuffing herbs and stuff into a rolled centre

          that can be one of my favourite cold sliced meats

    If you don't see any on the shelf dont go bothering the workers saying, you got any duck, cause the answer is no.

      Got any duck?

      • +4

        Got any grapes?

        (The duck song is pretty popular but not sure how much among ozb folk)

        • We've got nails if it helps.

        • +1

          Bum bum bum

      • Go duck yourself

  • +4

    Cheaper than pork roast maybe, but there is a damn sight more meat on the pork roast

  • I still got one from the last deal. Waiting for the special occasion to put put it alongside a big slab of pork belly on my Hub II.

  • Will try doing a Hong Kong style roast duck using sauce from the asian grocers. Baste skin and in the oven low and slow, will get that crispy skin.

    • +1

      Sounds good, got any recipe links?

      Have gone off these frozen ducks, used to buy them often and made duck l’orange once or twice, then general unflavoured roasts then went off it.

      But Hong Kong style sounds good.

    • Try it with plum sauce

    • Um… the crispy skin on poultry in the Asian receips I've seen comes from spooning hot oil over after cooking.

    • if I recall last time with this - I just shoved it in the oven like a roast chicken and it came out nice and crispy

      no need for applewood firing after inflating and multiple bastings of Chinese sauce

  • +6

    The Orange sauce is hideous, I had to really force myself to eat it, very artificial tasting.

    • +1

      Don’t add orange sauce then…

      • Sorry bro wrong post I was talking about the other deal the duck a la orange 😉😉

      I was just having a succulent chinese meal

        Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!

        • Ahhhh… I see you know your Judo well !!!

      • there's one born every minute …

    Pretty quacking deal considering that’s about 1/2 a lettuce and seven string beans worth of veg.

    • I wouldn't pay more than $14 for this quack

  • I would like to give this a go once in my life, but geeze it looks extremely daunting…

  • +1

    Howard!? Noooooo! T_T

    Great deal - I wish I could bring myself to eat duck as it’s delicious, but I’m just too fond of them as an animal to eat them. Definitely inconsistent as non-vegetarian who eats other animals.

    • +2

      It’s a tough one. After I had pet fish it’s hard to eat fish.

      • Damn i must be a monster. I have pet fish and seafood is my favorite food.

    • +1

      but the bird may not be fond of you - https://youtu.be/M6Vz0d0i5W0?t=192

    I roast this whole in the oven with vegetables, eat half and save the rest for Thai red curry.

  • Confit time

  • If you loved ducks, you wouldn't eat them.

    • I rarely hate them, but really 'ate them

  • pilau!

  • These make quite a mess in the oven with the duck fat spitting. Tasty but messy. If I was going to cook again would probably line sides of oven with foil
